- Our adventure to a gold producing abandoned mine located in the Entiat Mining District of Eastern Washington State dating as far back as 1906, records of early production records were not clearly documented. Most of the mines underground development work on this site was between 1906 and 1922. This gold mine produced under 10,000 ounces of gold.
Today some of the mine underground workings are partially open but the crown jewel of the site is the remains of the mine mill structure with a two stamp mill still intact. Join us as we take you underground with us on our exploration of this abandoned mine to give you a look into what a turn of the century lode gold mining claim was like.
Many ghost towns, mines and other forgotten historic sites in Washington State have already disappeared from history and many more are being lost each year to the ravages of time, wildfire, vandalism, and intentional closure. In addition to our many years of photographic documentation of these important historic sites we are now attempting to video document as many sites as we can so there is a lasting record of these places for future generations.
We hope you enjoy what we do and will join us on our adventures through a bygone era of Washingtons rich and colorful history. Not only do we love the history we explore and document, but we truly enjoy sharing these sites and experiences with our followers and viewers.
We appreciate you and thank you for Watching!!

WARNING
Abandoned mines and ruined structures have many hazards and can severely injure or even kill you. Do not attempt to copy or re-enact situations or scenarios seen in this video.
That wooden structure you eluded to at about 4.50 minutes into the video is the remains of the Wiffley Table that once sat at the base of the stamp mill. It's flipped upside down now. It was used to separate the gold from the waste rock.
It's funny you bring that up. As I knew that was there but I didn't want to just take a wag at that being it for sure. Thanks for clarity on that.
@ 6:00, the equipment looks like the remains of an old horse drawn Fresno Scraper! They were initially use for digging canals and ditches so i can potentially see it being fashioned into a mucker of sorts! I used one on the family farm across the Columbia river from where you're at when i was a kid!
Very interesting and cool. Thanks for sharing. we appreciate the watch and comments.
Nice seeing a stamp mill of this age still there great explore on this adventure thank you for the tag along .⛏️🤔
Yes, it is great to see it still there in that condition. Thank you for the comments. We are glad to have you along.
You yungins need to meet BC Frank. Then get this channel rolling
Maybe our approach is to have fun, try to share some history and interesting places, and wherever it goes, it goes. Appreciate your comment.
Did you guys happen to find the one with the cart tracks still in it?
No, we did not. I have been to that site 4 times in the last 12 years. And there is not one open that has tracks in it.
Around the corner the the right of the one on the hillside there is more, has to be crawled down into due to the back fill, but there is a winze in it as well, with tracks going over it. Might be worth a look. 😊
@tha420jesta Interesting wonder if that was a later undocumented working. We will check it out. Thanks for the tip!!
